the color blue

My son is starting first grade today. We met his teacher Monday night and she told us the first week of school they would be working on colors (not because they don't know their colors in first grade, but to get them into a groove for first grade routines and practices). Soooo we volunteered to bring in a color-themed snack for the class. The problem is, my son chose the color BLUE.

So I need ideas for blue snacks that meet the following criteria:

-- store bought

-- needs no refrigeration and can withstand a little heat (we live in AZ)

-- low sugar

--"healthy"

-- low cost (I have to bring enough for 28 kids/teachers)

I thought about blueberries but my son absolutely HATES blueberries so that doesn't seem like a good idea. I also thought about sugar-free blue jello, but it's kind of expensive and needs to be refrigerated.

I hate hate hate the store bought policy... we've had it at all of our daycares and schools. The only exception any teacher has ever made was if we wanted to make cupcakes for a birthday and even then, it had to be a box mix and we had to bring in the empty box so the teachers could judge for allergy reasons.

You could make something and add blue food coloring to it. There aren't really any blue colored foods because it's the least appetizing to the eye.
